On Monday, Cowboys WR James Washington suffered a foot injury that put him out of work for 6-10 weeks. This loss is massive. The team will likely be without Micheal Gallup for at least the first few games of the regular season. With Washington going down, the team can look at free agency for some veteran help. They could also continue the trend of replacing a proven veteran with some youth. Wide Receivers Currently On Roster Rookie Jalen Tolbert is part of the youth movement. He was poised to have a significant role before the Washington injury. Guys like newly…

Is Jabril Cox poised for a breakout? When the Cowboys took LB Jabril Cox in the 4th round, many fans thought it was a massive steal. Even though he was drafted into a crowded LB group, I felt he would sometime soon get his chance as a starter for the Cowboys. When the team cut ties with Jaylon Smith last year, they did it with the expectation that rookie Jabril Cox would be the future at the position. Unfortunately, Cox got hurt a few weeks later and was never actually able to be a consistent starter. But this year, a…
The Cowboys’ most significant problems last year were a combination of debilitating penalties and time management. Both of these things are typically indicative of lousy coaching. I don’t want to blame Mike McCarthy for the team’s problems all year with penalties, but that still is the head coach’s job to keep his guys disciplined. The verdict has been out on Mike McCarthy’s ability to coach a team to a Superbowl. With rumors surrounding Sean Payton possibly wanting to coach the Cowboys, the seat for McCarthy is hot. Many teams and fans would be satisfied after winning 12 games, but the…
The Cowboys come into training camp with serious questions regarding their depth at the Linebacker position. After letting veteran Keanu Neal walk, the team now is most likely set into starting Micah Parsons, Leighton Vander Esch, and Jabril Cox. Cox is coming off an ACL tear, and beyond those 3, it’s filled with special teamers who probably won’t give you production as LBs. To solve the issue of the lack of depth, the Cowboys are looking to dive into the free agency pool to add eight-year NFL veteran Anthony Barr. Barr is a four-time pro bowler, and his skill set…
Late July marks the start of training camp, officially stamping the beginning of a new football season. Roster battles and camp stories are always captivating, and the Cowboys have multiple positions that see players competing for roster spots. And with training camp returning this week, I think it’s a perfect time to look at some returning players in danger of being cut. Trysten Hill Trysten Hill was a player the Cowboys had extremely high hopes for when they drafted him in the 2nd round in 2019. Hill is super athletic and talented for a Defensive Tackle, but due to character…
Amari Cooper was asked on 96.7 the ticket if Ceedee Lamb is ready to take on the role of the Number 1 WR. Cooper’s response was somewhat standard besides one thing. He mentioned that Lamb would have a great season if he got the opportunity and if Kellen Moore decided to feature him. Cooper saying this says a lot to me and, in some ways, confirms what prompted Amari to have a down season in 2021. The subtle jab Cooper threw at Kellen Moore isn’t one that I felt was unwarranted or untrue. For whatever reason, Cooper last year wasn’t featured in…
Since the moment Dak Prescott took over for Tony Romo in 2016, it seems like there’s been a spotlight hovering over him every step he takes, waiting for him to screw up. For Dak, the hate always seems louder than the praise. For most people, that would chip away at their confidence. It hasn’t for Dak, and I think he understands that the relentless scrutiny is just a consequence of being the Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. While it may not faze Dak, the disrespect he gets is one brewed from the I hate the Dallas Cowboys pot and very…
Shannon Sharpe said something a few days ago about Ezekiel Elliot that many NFL fans would most likely agree with. Sharpe said that we’ve never seen a running back in year seven recapture what they lost two or three years ago. People agreed with this statement, and I even saw many fans go a step further and say that the Cowboys would be better with Zeke off the roster, which would ultimately lead to Tony Pollard getting a massive increase in touches. While I agree with Shannon’s take and the idea that Pollard needs more touches, the idea that the…
For the Cowboys, every year comes with the same tone of high expectations and intense pressure. This from both media and fans. This year is no different. However I think 2022 may be the most strenuous its been in a few years for numerous reasons. This year takes on a different tone. Coming from another disappointing first-round exit; multiple key guys getting contracts or due for contracts, makes it feel like there needs to be more of a sense of urgency. Training camp is just about two weeks away. I think it’s the perfect time to highlight who the top…
Entering the 2022 season, there are significant questions surrounding the Cowboys’ receiving core. The departure of both Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson presents the Cowboys with more questions at the position than they’ve been custom to in the past couple of years. Young guys like 2nd year 5th round pick Simi Fehoko and freshly drafted 3rd round pick Jalen Tolbert will both be expected to fill holes left by the roster turnover the teams experienced at the position. With Michael Gallup potentially missing the first few weeks of the season recovering from a torn ACL, the youth movement at WR…
